Welcome. You've come to the right place if you ...
Are looking for hand crafted artwork with soul; are interested in self-sufficiency or homesteading, organic gardening or seed saving, alternative energy or alternative living; believe in living gently with the earth . . .
Are of an independent mind, walk an independent but connected path; believe in being responsible for yourself, in laughing and having fun, in creating a better world, for yourself and for others . . .
Prefer trees in the forests not in your mailbox (or landfill), choose walking over riding, bicycling over cars, don’t think recumbent bicycles are weird, or do, but are interested anyway . . .
Are looking for a good book, or some good artwork . . .
Welcome. Enjoy yourself, tell others about us. Order a book or or a
wooden spoon or nothing at
all. Peruse our art gallery, wander through these reflections of our life. We
wish you happiness, and appreciate your visit.
To correspond with us, please check the Contact Information page.
Give yourself enough rope to live and learn and laugh and play, and have fun doing
it!
"I have done without electricity, and tend the fireplace and stove myself. Evenings, I light the old lamps. There is no running water, and I pump the water from the well. I chop the wood and cook the food. These simple acts make man simple; and how difficult it is to be simple! . . . Silence surrounds me, almost audibly, and I live "in modest harmony with nature". Thoughts rise to the surface which reach back into the centuries, and accordingly anticipate a remote future. Here the torment of creation is lessened; creativity and play are close together." -- Carl Jung, "Memories, Dreams, and Reflections"
